Since I have a violent cold (as I describe it), I am spending the rest of this evening curled up under a blanket with a box of tissues, my Anatomy and Physiology notes, a cup of hot cocoa, and these delicious cookies- courtesy of Kyle's Grandma (thank you, Karen!). They were just too cute not to photograph. And believe me, they really are as delicious as they look. :)

Every single one of you are so deserving and it's really unfortunate that I only have time for one session. I wish I could photograph all of you with your children!

Special thanks to my little sissy for helping me out with the drawing. I love her chipped fingernail polish;) Ashley, I will be contacting you shortly!Anyway, I'll post a couple photos from the weekend and then it's back to work on my psychology paper! Enjoy:)

Have a wonderful week everybody!(Oh, and PS- I made flagsquad) :)Smiles and lots of love, Taylor
